Central component of cohesin, a complex required for chromosome cohesion during the cell cycle. The cohesin complex may form a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. Cohesion is coupled to DNA replication and is involved in DNA repair. The cohesin complex plays also an important role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis and in chromosomes movement.2 Publications

Note:Associates with chromatin. Before prophase it is scattered along chromosome arms. During prophase, most of cohesin complexes dissociate from chromatin probably because of phosphorylation by PLK, except at centromeres, where cohesin complexes remain. At anaphase, the RAD21 subunit of the cohesin complex is cleaved, leading to the dissociation of the complex from chromosomes, allowing chromosome separation. The phosphorylated form at Ser-1083 is preferentially associated with unsynapsed chromosomal regions (By similarity).By similarity

Phosphorylated at Ser-1083 in a SPO11-dependent manner.By similarity

Acetylation at Lys-105 and Lys-106 by ESCO1 is important for genome stability and S phase sister chromatid cohesion. Regulated by DSCC1, it is required for processive DNA synthesis, coupling sister chromatid cohesion establishment during S phase to DNA replication. Deacetylation by HDAC8, regulates release of the cohesin complex from chromatin.3 Publications

Interacts with MXI1, MXD3 and MXD4. Interacts with SYCP2. Found in a complex with SMC1A, CDCA5 and RAD21, PDS5A/SCC-112 and PDS5B/APRIN (By similarity). Forms a heterodimer with SMC1A or SMC1B in cohesin complexes. Cohesin complexes are composed of the SMC1 (SMC1A or SMC1B) and SMC3 heterodimer attached via their hinge domain, RAD21 which link them, and one STAG protein (STAG1, STAG2 or STAG3), which interacts with RAD21. Also found in meiosis-specific cohesin complexes. Interacts with NUMA1, and forms a ternary complex with KIF3B and KIFAP3, suggesting a function in tethering the chromosomes to the spindle pole and in chromosome movement. Interacts with PDS5A and WAPL; regulated by SMC3 acetylation. Interacts with RPGR (By similarity).

<p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could

is extremely low.</p>
<p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case

<p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64)
